1 room, 1 work. Installations from the collection

About this place

This year’s collection exhibition is devoted to major artistic gestures: one work occupies a room. These are not small-format works, but space-filling installations. Installation art goes beyond the pictorial or sculptural character of a work and usually includes the whole room. This creates a world of its own. The public is often actively involved in viewing and experiencing the work. The main focus is on contemporary art, with acquisitions from the 1990s to today on view. One highlight of the exhibition is the immersive space work «Wantee» (2013) by Laure Provoust, in which the artist weaves fiction, art history and personal history together. To show as many installations from the collection as possible, works are taken down over the course of the exhibition and replaced by others.
